with MANUFACTURED SUPERSTARS

Saturday, October 16

The Hague is a city of contradictions. It is the political centre of The Netherlands, a city of high class, stiff upper lips and more limousines than average cars. On the other hand the Hague is also the city where the most devestating Dutch dance-music is being produced. Remy of RR Workshop, Pako & Frederik, Vincent de Moor and numourous other underground icons are based here. Their sound is sparse, banging, soulful and when a melody comes in there is a bloody good reason for it. Sander Kleinenberg is from the Hague. His sound and Dj-ing technique represents these elements. But there is something else as well.

Of all the music making inhabitants of this little haven in the South of Holland Sander Kleinenberg knows more than anyone else that England is on the other side. He knows its there and he acknowledges that Great Britain and a little further away, America, are the countries where dance-music has its roots, without renouncing his origins.

As a Dj he is truly a flying Dutchman, traveling to the outher regions of Europe, spinning for extremely satisfied crowds at famous clubs like the Rex in Paris, Space in Ibiza and the beautiful Caf dAnvers in Antwerp to name but a few. Of course he did the motorways in his home-country where he got residencies at clubs like Asta in the Hague and the Amsterdam clubs like Mazzo, Chemistry and the legendary and now defunkt RoXY, while he also played the big festivals like Lowlands, Dance Valley and New Frontier.

The Manufactured Superstars' main goal and fundamental idea is to play fun and energetic music to enhance the vibe and energy of any atmosphere. The dance floor is never empty nor stationary when they take over the decks. They are not afraid to play chart topping hits to keep the dance floor moving. They have exceptional skills of incorporating all types of music so effortlessly into their live acts. They truly put on a high-energy performance, as they fly through more than 100 tracks in a two-hour set.

The Manufactured Superstars are a U.S based electronic music duo consisting of two members; Brad Roulier and Shawn Sabo. Although all DJ's will argue that they are all unique in their own ways, these two energetic artists have a strikingly unique sound. They love mashing up popular electro, progressive, house, pop music, and any other genre of music, to make every tune their own. Brad and Shawn are based in Denver, Colorado. These two ingenious minds also co-founded Beatport, which is not only the leading electronic music download store, but also the most influential company moving electronic music forward today.

Brad Roulier teamed up with Shawn Sabo to create the Manufactured Superstars in 2006. Since then, they have rocked the worlds of many, not only in night club settings from coast to coast, but also pumped up the biggest electronic music festivals. This eclectic duo have talent in playing the music, putting on a vibrant show, and even producing the music as well. They have released many of their own tracks on Subliminal Records, Twisted, Sounds Like Music, Cutting Records, and countless others. Their remix of Dancin' on Subliminal Records reached the #1 spot on the top download site,DJDownload.com, and stayed on top for many weeks. Las Vegas hosts a weekly radio show featuring live and new mixes of the Manufactured Superstars. Every Wednesday nights, they take over the Las Vegas airwaves from channel 94.5fm.
